>> What's the upfront cost for a 4Kwh grid tied system?

You're talking about a system that would save maybe $40/month on a utility bill. That cost is probably $12K or $15K -- do the arithmetic.

If you wanted to power a home for half a day, you'd have to have FOUR such devices -- $60K. And you would STILL be buying power for most of the day.

Totally infeasible.
